At the Tokyo Bienniale 2021, Tachibana played a “music machine” performance with his letterpress machine, placed below the elevated railyway track of JR Sobu Line. The machine was connected to the sound system, with guitarist and pianist of the band Il Treno, located a few floors apart, they improvised without seeing each other, with train passing sometimes, giving a rythmic layer to the whole performance. This very rare opportunity was recorded on site and become this LP.
The LP set contains 1 vinyl record, 10 large size posters designed by the artist, and 1 booklet of fiction by his brother Hidehisa Tachibana.
Fumio Tachibana (b.1968), grows up in a bookbinding family in Hiroshima, his graphic and book design works have received high acclaim in the field. In early 2007, he began to edit and publish Kyutai (球体, meaning “sphere”) series, exploring new ideas of making text, images, and book making. -Publisher
